All levels require classroom instruction, passing (a score of 75% or better) of a written examination similar to those currently in use for professional certification and demonstrated proficiency in an approved Project Presentation (for first two levels this may be a video presentation that is sent in for evaluation).

The Master Level requires a graded program proposal, acceptance and development, coupled with a performance presentation at an annual WSO Conference. An overall score of 80% from the review panel is required for certification.
